Is a sweet ride. Our 63 mini with 1275 weighs between 650-700Kgs.
Not sure how much you'd save with the fibreglass but very sweet all the same.

Think the hayabusa would rev harder and be more tractable, so probably quicker.

for the z-car mini u can get a hayabusu engine, or a yamaha R1 engine too.... hav a look at there site

Torque like a bitch!

Must have been great to see in the flesh/metal.
More tractable then a FI engine boasting more power though. There is a limit to the power you need in such a light weight car. :)

waterfest 2010 must watch

it was weird watching it drifting out the corners for sure but bang for bucks a good kr swap car was on average only a second a lap of it and the panels on the busa golf alone could pay for that lol.Theres plenty vids off it on you-tube though and as a fun pointless car its pretty impressive engineering and performance wise,pretty sure its best quarter to date its in the 12's but its very twitchy on a circuit

By far the best video Ive listened to
